For Users
ZERG is where you buy and open token boxes.
Each box contains tokens. You find out what you got when you open it. What happens after that depends on the offering type you joined.
ZERG supports two types:
Initial Box Offering (IBO) — a new token is launching. After the sale, you choose to claim your tokens or take SOL instead. All before trading begins.
Redistribution Box Offering (RBO) — an existing token is being distributed. You buy, open, and claim. No launch mechanics, no cashout.
Get started
What you need
A Solana wallet.
You can browse ZERG without one. To buy boxes, claim rewards, or create an offering, connect your wallet first.
The first time you connect, you accept the Terms of Service. If they are updated later, you may need to accept again before continuing.
Demo Mode
Want to try before you commit?
Open any live offering, navigate to settings, and select Demo Mode. No wallet required. No real rewards. Just a preview of the experience.
1. Discover offerings
Go to Token Boxes.
That is where all active IBOs and RBOs appear. Find one you want to join and open it by clicking Buy Boxes.
2. Buy boxes
From the offering page, pick how many boxes you want, review the total in SOL, and confirm with your wallet.
Once confirmed, your box count updates and you can start opening straight away.
Limits
Max 25 boxes per transaction
Max 10% of total boxes per offering across all your purchases
If the offering sells out before your transaction confirms, the purchase fails and the page updates
When buying ends
For an IBO: buying ends when the hard cap is hit or the timer expires.
For an RBO: buying ends when the campaign window closes or all boxes are sold.
Check remaining availability before confirming if you have a specific number in mind.
3. Open boxes
Open your boxes from the same offering page.
Boxes come in different rarities, from common to legendary. Higher rarities contain more tokens. Opening reveals how many tokens you received. Your running total updates as you go.
If you have already opened some, you will see your running total for that offering.
4. What happens after buying ends
Once buying closes, the offering moves through two short phases.
Grace Period
You can still open any boxes you already bought. You can no longer purchase new ones.
If you do not open everything before the grace period ends, ZERG opens the rest for you automatically.
Cooldown
After the grace period, the offering enters cooldown.
ZERG processes results and prepares everything for settlement. Nothing is claimable yet.
Once cooldown ends, you manage everything from Inventory.
5. Claim, cashout, and refund
What you do after the cooldown depends on the offering type and outcome.
Initial Box Offering
If the offering succeeds:
A Cashout window opens first.
Take SOL instead of tokens
Cashout price is set at a discount to the implied listing price — this lets people who want liquidity exit cleanly before trading begins
Time-limited
Done from Inventory
If you do not cash out, or once that window closes, you move into Claim.
Claim your tokens from Inventory
If the offering fails:
If it does not reach its minimum threshold (soft cap), it is treated as failed.
No cashout
No token claim
Refund your SOL from Inventory
Redistribution Box Offering
Once the campaign finishes, tokens become claimable from Inventory. No cashout. No refund. Just claim.
IBO → cashout, claim, or refund depending on outcome RBO → claim only
6. Inventory
Inventory is where you track everything after you buy.
Unopened Boxes
Any boxes you have not opened yet appear here. Once the grace period ends and they are auto-opened, they move into Token Holdings.
Token Holdings
Your position in every offering you joined.
For IBOs, the card changes as the offering moves through its lifecycle:
Cashout available — take SOL instead of tokens before the window closes. Cashout is priced at a discount to the implied listing price, so people who want liquidity can exit cleanly before trading begins.
Claim available — claim your tokens once the cashout window ends
Refund available — if the offering did not reach its minimum threshold, claim your SOL back
Finished — a summary of what you did, with transaction and trade links where applicable
For RBOs, your card shows each campaign as Running, Finished (Claimable), or Finished (Claimed).
When tokens are ready, a Claim button appears.
Claiming collects everything currently available — campaigns still running are not included.
Watchlist
Offerings you want to follow go here.
Add any offering to your watchlist from its Token Details page. It appears in the Watchlist tab inside Inventory. Click the star icon to remove it.
7. Profile
Your profile is tied to your connected wallet.
It includes your wallet address, nickname, avatar, connected socials, referral link, XP, referral stats, and badges.
Nickname change
Setting your nickname is free. Each change after that is paid.
Referrals
From the Inventory page you can share your referral link and track everyone who joined through it — both direct referrals and people referred by others you brought in.
Demo Mode
Not ready to spend real SOL?
Open any live offering, navigate to settings, and select Demo Mode to try the box-opening experience without committing. No wallet required. No real rewards. Just a preview.
